Earlier in the evening I thought I might be having Braxton-Hicks contractions. Just uncomfortable pressure in my lower belly, like where menstrual craps are experienced. They'd come and go with no real pattern. But I've also been doing a lot in the last week or so. Inside and outside the house. I wasn't sure if that's really what was going on of if I was just tired and strained. So on the advice of a mom friend, I took a warm shower and got comfy in bed.
I'm sitting there in bed snacking on animal crackers and drinking apple juice like a 5 year old when I felt a weird gas bubble.... but only on one side of my belly and up a bit higher than gas normally is. I thought could this be my baby moving?? So I got my stethoscope out and listened.
I could hear the heart beat, loud and strong. And I could hear the pops and pow of baby dancing, kicking and punching around in my belly. I was laughing and crying. It was amazing. I wake up every day wondering if I'll feel baby today and never do. I was thrilled. It was so cool and so amazing. I can't wait until I feel it again.
And in less than a week I go for my anatomy ultrasound!!
I hope everyone else has a wonderful day with family and friends.
